Soooo, I'm a potter, and I had read that orchids like pots with holes in them so they get extra air to the roots. I made these last year, and I've sold them all, but never heard anything back from the buyers, so I don't know if I'm doing them right or not. Can you orchid experts take a look at these photos and tell me if they're a good idea or not? And if so, how I could improve the design to help the plants do well? I'd appreciate any hints you can provide!

Oh, and the ones with the attached reservoirs have a drainage hole at the side; the ones without reservoirs have drainage holes in the bottom.
